Retro gaming and God complexes: two great tastes that taste great together. And in the case of 148Apps Editor's Choice app The Sandbox, that's exactly what gamers get. Now, though, the fun expands to the magical iPad screen (including full retina display support), providing a universal experience on either iOS device. Reviewer Rob Rich had this to say about the game: "Sometimes a game’s title just fits. It does a perfect job of getting the point across without bombarding the reader with unnecessary words...games like The Sandbox do titles right. It’s pretty much dead-on about what players can expect. Which is to say it’s a sandbox. A glorious, pixilated, element-manipulating sandbox."

This latest update from developer Pixowl and Bulkypix does more than just make The Sandbox universal, it also adds 11 new tree species, 7 new backgrounds, 8 glowing gems and 30 missions to solve. That's enough to keep any budding godling busy.

More additions are on the way, including new ways to bring lifeforms to your creation, so get in The Sandbox, start playing and 'unleash the pixel artist dormant in you.
